A script is needed to set/reset common magnifier settings

This bug is extracted from bug #168761. Here is the last comment from that bug : ------- Additional Comment #14 From bill.haneman@sun.com 2005-04-08 07:16 ------- One idea was to have a 'restore defaults' script, but I personally don't think that solves the main problem in this bug. Another idea, which I much prefer, is to have a simple command-line interface (probably implemented via a simple script) for making major changes to magnifier source/target parameters. To some extent this can be done by executing srcore with the right parameters, but the interface is quite complex, I think it is better for the user to have a simple command such as: gnopernicus-mag-config --fullscreen --source=:0.1 --target=:0.0 or gnopernicus-mag-config --splitscreen [--source ] I don't know whether there are other parts of the configuration that are difficult to do via the GUI; personally my opinion is that the source/target and fullscreen/splitscreen parameters are the only ones likely to ruin the user's day.
Created attachment 45170 [details] script to set/reset commonly used options This is a simple script that modifies the gnopernicus magnifier values in gconf. These are the options: -F Full screen mode -S Split screen mode -s source_display Sets the source display -t target_display Sets the target display If it's run without parameters it will display a help text. This script can be used to change the gnopernicus magnifier values while gnopernicus+magnifier is running. If it's used when gnopernicus is not running, it will still change the values and gnopernicus will start with the new values. Bill: Where should this script be installed?
Comment on attachment 45170 [details] script to set/reset commonly used options please fix spelling of 'handled'
Spelling fixed and script was commited to CVS HEAD. Closing bug...
